Passage Created by: Foppler Effect [br] [br] Download: Passage [br] Map Description: This is a Foundry map that uses a few concepts that I have rarely (or never seen) used. The overall map layout is an S-shape. This map is split into four main areas. The center of the map is taken up by a big curved hill (gradient style). There is a 'basement area' (under the hill) only available on foot (shield doors). The other two areas are two bases that are only enterable by vehicle. This barrier keeping anyone on foot out of the bases is made by a one way barrier of teleporters blocking the entrances. Another unusual forged map quality that I have put in is the ability to see from one base to another without being able to get there as easily.

This looks fantastic - I'll try and get a big game going tomorrow so I can try this map out with a few friends. Great job on the aesthetics! The only thing here that seems questionable are the shield doors decorating the 'gradient style' hill. That looks like it could get in the way of the vehicles.
wow that looks amazing. I love that hill. Theres only 1 thing i dont like and thats the sheild doors on the hill
Shield Doors: I previously made a map that used shield doors in this way and I really enjoyed the interesting situations that it presented and the strategies people started to use. However, this map has a very different layout and the shield doors may not work. If any one experiences any problems with them in a game let me know soonish and I will repost my map without the shield doors.
Great map. Much better than my attempt at a hill map. Like the the sweeping curve of the hill. Good for a suprise attack i suppose.
